How often does it rain for you?

DogFaceInBananaPatch · August 2014

I'll start with an apology for another RAIN poll. So, sorry!

Ignore my last poll and let it die please. I genuinely want to know approximately how often it rains for you. Why, is because it is almost always raining for me and I'd like to know if it's true for others.

Vote and please reply with the primary zone(s) you played over the last week.

I'm easily in the 91%+ range. I know some (most?) will think I'm crazy for making a poll about this but it seriously will not stop raining for me!

Currently playing two low level characters (25 and 10). I think if they put the whole weather system on the server side and just triggered/flagged it things would be better overall.

Zone: Deshaan, Shadowfen; Betnihk;

Dont think it rains that much to me personally.

I'd assume it's based on which zone you are in, so a global poll seems... silly.

Thus my request for recent zones everyone is playing in. ~cheers~

There's been an awful lot of threads about rain lately...

Sorry, probably all me... well, actually good! hopefully they'll look into why I have to put up with rain for 5 to 8 hour (edit) sessions, everyday, always.

Not Nearly enough. They need more rain, make it rain 24/7 every where except Alikir Desert

Evergnar · August 2014

I don't even pay attention to it really so wouldn't know. I do like watching those little water rings it makes when it hits the water though.

My seat of the pretty dress raindar tells me less than 1/3 of the time ...

Then let's swap computers and you will get all the rain you ever wanted. Hell!, I'm sure by the time I get to a desert it'll still be raining.

The only way I can make it stop is to /camp and log back in and that's a cure for about 5 to 10 minutes. Once it starts, there's almost no chance it'll stop again.

Edit: I am literally on the verge to start sending /bug reports if it rains for over two hours.

But my computer is awesome. I am currently looking through ESO files to see If I can edit it to make it rain more.

I think it rains pretty often on the lower half of Auridon but I suppose I could be imagining things. Still, it's often enough that I think "not again". I'm on a Mac.

whats wrong with the rain? its all to do with the zones your in..mine were Glenumbra and Stormhaven

smeeprocketnub19_ESO · August 2014

I just want blizzards personally. Not in Alik'r obviously, but snow and blizzards in the appropriately places.

Hurricanes and tornadoes would be awesome, but seem unlikely.

kewl · August 2014

I've experienced frequent storms inside buildings and outside them. Thunderstorms are really fun.

Tabbycat · August 2014

I only want to see the poll results.

It depends on where you are. It tends to rain a lot in Glenumbra and Stormhaven but not so much in Alik'r or Bangkorei. I honestly don't remember if it rains in Coldharbour. I haven't been there in months.

Cyberdown · August 2014

I get it, you want a poll to prove weather sucks and should be removed or changed.

I like it,the weather, it doesn't lag me, its an enjoyable effect.... but i dislike strongly loaded forum polls that are simply meant to validate the OP's opinion on things.

You assume wrong. Once it starts raining for you somewhere in Tamriel it will rain for you no matter where you go in Tamriel.

Not enough.

It can follow you indoors as well.

Well, I do not have any hard numbers to back this up - it just feels way too often.
And I hate it because it does nothing... nothing but annoy my eyes and cause my GPU to run a degree or two hotter.
WTB clear skies shout! Now!

Elyna · August 2014

Never stops!

It never ends for me. The storm waits for me to leave a town and then it starts up again. Its ridiculous.

I'm considering doing a poll about this reply.

I play all over the zones and I suspect that the rain quota is directly linked to the type of region you are in... i.e. Not sure I can ever remember it raining in Alik'r or in Stonefalls (except some ash fall) whereas Rivenspire or Shadowfen tend to get more... haven't seen it rain in in north Eastmarch because it snows instead. The jungle zones seem to get bursts of rain but rarely persisting for long.

If you stop to think about it it's actually a sign of how much attention to detail they put into some of their world. It adds 'life' to the game.

That is not my experience.

This is in Glenumbra, Stormhaven and (Northern) Bangkorai.

It'll never rain in Alik'r, even if it was raining when you left Stormhaven.

Not really noticing the rain that much tbh. Might be to do with the particular zones I'm running in right now?

Ragefist · August 2014

I live in northern England, dude it does rain a lot for me

dodgehopper_ESO · August 2014

I only want to see the poll results.

You do realize that those zones you mentioned are rainy zones, jungles. Betnikh is just a forested island. Deshaan and Shadowfen definitely classify as jungle terrain. Shadowfen is a swampy jungle. Its fairly normal for those climates to rain. If you think back to Morrowind, it rained a lot in that game as well, and that's essentially where you are at. (Excluding Betnikh, which is more like an English climate)

Dunno why it made me sing 'why does it always rain on me' but hey I'm from northern England as well...
